Punto bonnet catch won't open

Nov 17, 2005 2 Replies

Could anybody tell me to release the bonnet on a 2001 Punto? The bonnet release wire has broken, pulling from inside of the car just pulls the wire out of the inner cable. I can just see some of the mechanism by squinting up through the gap in the front bumper and could probably get a long thin screwdriver in. Advice would be appreciated,



regards,



David

Finally managed to release the bonnet, was fairly straightforward. Now all I need to do is obtain a new cable.
